Bolivian Labor Immigrants' Experiences in Argentina
About this book
Bolivian Labor Immigrants' Experiences in Argentina examines key issues regarding the structural factors that pattern the integration of Bolivian immigrants in labor markets segmented by inequalities based on class, gender, ethnicity/race, nationality, and migratory and legal status. The book provides ethnographic insights about the various ways in which Bolivian immigrants experience harsh living and working conditions in Argentina, demonstrating that these men and women are capable of dealing with oppressive situations and of performing particular ways of resistance.
The book also refers to the trajectories of some Bolivians who had previously migrated to Spain and returned to Argentina after the European crisis in 2008. And it compares the south-south labor migration from Bolivia to Argentina with the north-north one from Tajikistan to the Russian Federation. The focus on labor migrants does not lead to a reductionist economic analysis of their trajectories, experiences, and prospects for the future. On the contrary, they are studied from a holistic anthropological approach, considering that migrants make sense of their territorial mobility from complex points of view anchored in their life experiences. Therefore, contributors consider that migration is a process that involves economic, social, cultural, and political dimensions.
